Sherlockaction Bar NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS Changes on orentation?

When changing from a vertical view to a horizontal view, the NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS will automatic changes to a list? May i know how do i fix this to NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS ?

Solution

  • There is nothing to fix, as this is by design. The native action bar does this as well. I filed an issue pointing out this behavior, and was told that the action bar is working as intended. ActionBarSherlock, in turn, aims to mirror Android's native behavior.

    If you want tabs that are always tabs, use anything other than action bar tabs, such as:

    • ViewPager with a tab indicator (PagerTabStrip, TabPagerIndicator from the ViewPagerIndicator library, etc.)

    • FragmentTabHost

    • Etc.
